Barry Callebaut to build new global distribution center
Energy-neutral facility also will centralize operations in Belgium.
Barry Callebaut Group plans to build a new, environmentally-friendly Global Distribution Center (GDC) in Lokeren, Belgium.
The new GDC, featuring a low bay and a fully automated high bay warehouse (together more than 60,000 square meters), will serve as a logistics hub for the global distribution of chocolate produced by Barry Callebaut. This includes the majority of products in the Gourmet & Specialties and Decorations segments, as well as solid chocolate for food manufacturer customers.
